For our Executive Pastry chef, Orna Larkin, the essence of Afternoon Tea at InterContinental Dublin lies not in one signature dish, but in its creativity and ever-changing nature. While the freshly baked scones and house-made jams remain a beloved constant, the menu evolves with the seasons, ensuring each experience feels unique and thoughtfully crafted. Orna’s ethos is rooted in seasonality, artistry, and the use of local produce, with each Afternoon Tea theme designed to surprise and delight guests. Her dedication to pastry has earned her significant recognition, including being named Highly Commended Pastry Chef of the Year 2023 by Food & Wine, as well as multiple nominations for the same award. She has also contributed to the hotel’s culinary success as part of the team awarded two AA Rosettes for Seasons Restaurant. For Orna and her team, Afternoon Tea is more than a tradition — it is a handcrafted celebration of flavour and imagination.

    From the moment you enter the Ivy the welcome service & food is outstanding, we went in as a group of 4 & the hospitality from the staff is second to none. The food came out in timely fashion with a nice gap between courses & the presentation was exceptional. Keep up the good work

    Lovely place for afternoon tea, selection of sandwiches I thought was a bit poor, my husband does not eat sauces inc mayonnaise, the chicken wrap came with garlic mayonnaise, he asked for it to be left off, but was told wraps already made so they couldn’t change it, he had an extra ham and cheese sandwich instead, desserts were very good, great selection of teas, also a selection of coffee, staff very attentive and helpful.

    My first visit didn't go quite as planned, but the manager on duty handled it brilliantly. The steak was fantastic, and the service made the whole experience stand out. Any restaurant can have an off night, but how they handle it says everything. I'll definitely be back.
